Niki...(Completed & Editing)

chp 4 "CARE"

"come on, you don't have any idea about it? I don't believe you!" Words spread around my room ecoing.

"I can't remember, OK." Karan replied removing his bagpack and keeping it successfully on the side table.

"She was Alia Seth, our classmate. Come on! she studied with us till 10th." I said trying to make him to remember, which was my 10th  unsuccessful attempt.

Let me tell you what happened.

Actually, while returning back we met our school friend Alia. Surprisingly, seeing me, she ran towards me and gave me tight hug. We shared about our college and then I was surprised when Karan asked her, who she is?
Means how can someone forgot her, she was one of the populars in the school. From that time I was trying my best to make him remember who she is...

"Let it go. I don't want to know who she is." He made himself comfortable on the my bed while I got engaged arranging my books from my bag to my shelves.

"Have you thought about any idea regarding English assignment?" He asked.

"As for now, I am in dormant stage." I told him and confusion can be totally seen in his eyes.

"Dormant!! Niki, how many time I have to tell you to speak in the language we people can understand. Stop being rude to my ears, spare them." He said dramatically.

"Thanks for your opinion dear. Yes, I have searched one topic and I will complete my assignment till tomorrow." I told him sitting at the end of my bed looking through the window straight in my front.

"you mean our." he spoke interrupting my beautiful view time.

As I was about to reply when his phone rang and I stopped. By his conversation, I could identify the person who was on the other side. His dad. His dad must be calling to come back home, as always. Every time he gets a call from his dad, means he had to go to home immediately leaving whatever he is doing.

"Hey!" I was snapped out of my thought when Karan called me and I just hummed.

"Look I have to-."

"Go home right?"I interrupted as well as completed his sentence.

"yeah! You are right, I am so glad you know me soo well." He side hugged me and was about to leave when I called him "Karan"

He stopped and turned facing me from the doorframe of my bedroom, "what?" he asked but I was just staring him. Words were not coming out of my mouth. What the hell Niki speak up! I scolded myself.

"Niki are you there?" Karan waved his hand in front of my face.

"yes, I was sayi-" and then his face started look faint and slowly I felt my head light and at last everything around me went black. I became deaf, dumb and blind at the same time.

Karan's POV

I was at Niki's place to discuss about English project and while we were discussing I got a call from my dad asking me to get home, as he will be leaving to New york in two hour and will be back after two weeks. So he wants me to meet him before he goes. It's like a routine for me. He mostly stay out of India for work and we meet rarely.

I was about to say that I have to leave but Niki understood it before and told me that I can go. I wanted to stay as Nik was not home yet and he gave me the responsibility to take care of her till he will be back so I decided to meet dad and come back soon to her. I know she is strong but very delicate. And I stared moving to home.

"Karan" I heard her voice from back which was quite surprising to hear, she never called me like that. I stopped and turned around to see her "what?" I asked but she didn't replied.
"Niki are you there??" I asked her again waving my hand before her head and the she finally spoke "yes I was sayi-" and that's it , she fainted in my arms.

She was light as a feather.

"Niki,Niki...."I shouted but no reply... I panicked.

"Niki if this is a prank, I am sure I will make you pay this for your whole life."I yelled at her and she was not affected by my words.

"What should I do, nik is not home yet" I mumbled to myself and carried her bridal style and placed her on bed.

Then I called our family doctor and told him to reach as soon as possible while I was trying to wake her up.

I heard the door bell I rushed down the stair and opened the door to see doctor but to my fate it was Nik standing in front and as he saw me gave me a bro hug and came inside and made himself comfortable on sofa at the center.

"Niki, Niki come down I bought you dairy milk" he shouted from there.

I was glued to the door not moving an inch and was waiting for doctor to arrive.

"why is she not coming down. She heard me right?" He questioned me looking upstairs at her door.

I can understand why he asked so, as dairymilk the only name in the world of chocolate that she love to eat and even can eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Now you can understand want make Nik so amused.

"she fainted." two word that moved out my mouth and that to in low tone and I can't guess even did he hear them.

"what? she fainted?" With that said he rushed upstair in her room and I? well, I was still glued to my position.

"Karan, where is the patience?" doctor asked me who I didn't notice till he asked me.

"ohh!! Thank god doc, you are here. She is up there in her room let me take you." I took his bag and hurried toward the room.
I saw Nik sitting beside her whispering something to himself but It was not the matter that time. I went and sat near her leg on bed and ask doctor to examine her. Nik was still staring her sister but for now his mouth was shut and was not uttering a word, which made clear he was in shock.

"don't worry guys she is fine. She take too much stress I guess. Don't worry she will be fine. Make sure that she get less stress and eats properly." Doctor said making me feel relief and I could even see Nik was recovering from shock he got seeing her like that. He massaged his temple and walked out of the room without uttering a single word.

"thankyou doctor." I said and he in return just smiled and went back.

I sat beside her taking her hand in mine. Her hand were cold and soft to touch. I saw her face. Cute and peaceful two words which were enough.

I heard little shuffling sound from down I immediately went down, the sound was coming from Nik's room I went there and saw Nik was punching his punching bag.

"nik, what are you doing?"I asked him and he immediately stopped and ran towards me like he is going to punch directly on my face, but he hugged me tightly I could hear sobbing sound beside my shoulder, we pulled apart and I saw tears in his eyes.
He loves her soo much!! I am happy that Niki has such a caring brother.

"she will be fine, trust me" I said and we sat there discussing.
